Chapter 540: Secret Love

Concubine Lin was shocked, "Why is she like this?"

"She has only been married for more than ten days, how can she go back to her parents' home? Wouldn't it be a joke if this gets out?"

Outsiders will definitely spread that Xuan'er and his wife are not getting along!

Xiao Xuan didn't want to talk about Shen Qingluan anymore, "Let her go back."

He had a gloomy face, "Right now, it's more important to raise money."

"A few days ago, my father called me over because of Xiao Yu's assassination. I think he suspected me."

Concubine Lin was shocked. Xiao Xuan hadn't told her about this yet, "No way, we did it perfectly, how could he be suspicious?"

Xiao Xuan had a gloomy face, "It should be Xiao Yu who told him something."

"Now my father pays more and more attention to Xiao Yu, and he has allocated 200 of his personal guards to him."

"This time, the prince is angry with us mother and son. If the money can't be taken out, I'm afraid my father will be more biased towards Xiao Yu."

Concubine Lin gritted her teeth, "I don't know how this Ruyi Tower works. They have received so much silver, but Xiao Yu is still alive and kicking!"

Xiao Xuan waved his hand, "Mom, let's not talk about this for now."

"I only have 150,000 silver here, you can give some silver to my son."

Concubine Lin was stunned, "How can I have so much silver? I have less than 10,000 silver in my hand."

Xiao Xuan looked at his mother suspiciously and frowned, "Mom, if you have silver, take some out first, and I will give it to you when the fleet returns next year."

Concubine Lin was really wronged. The prince usually gave her a lot of jewelry and treasures, but she really didn't have much silver.

She didn't have a dowry, and the two shops she had now were given by the prince. She only made about 2,000 taels a year, and she had to spend money, so she didn't save much.

She was about to complain, but seeing her son's unhappy expression, she could only say, "Then I'll ask the maid to open the storehouse and pick out a few things, and you can pawn them."

Xiao Xuan hummed and said nothing more.

Shen Qingluan had already packed up, and the sedan chair was carried to the second gate. She got on the carriage and drove to the side door.

Halfway through, a gust of wind blew up the curtains by the window, and she saw Xiao Yu coming towards her.

When she recognized her relatives the day after the wedding, she found that Xiao Yu was more handsome, but it was not easy to look at him at that time.

Now she was not far away, and she could see very clearly that Xiao Yu had sword eyebrows and star eyes, and his angular face was as handsome as a sculpture. He walked over with big strides, carrying a momentum.

Shen Qingluan's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

Such a handsome and unparalleled appearance, such momentum.

This is the ideal man in her heart.

On the other hand, Xiao Xuan looked very much like Concubine Lin, with a pointed jaw and a feminine appearance. He had no masculine aura in bed, and she didn't like him at all.

Just as she was thinking, the curtain of the sedan chair that was blown up by the wind fell down, and she couldn't see anything.

Shen Qingluan quietly lifted the curtain again, just in time to see Xiao Yu striding past the carriage.

The perfect silhouette was like a sharp arrow piercing Shen Qingluan, and it was imprinted in Shen Qingluan's mind for a long time.

······

The prince got the news the next day that Xiao Xuan took several precious antiques from Concubine Lin's warehouse and sold them outside secretly.

He couldn't believe that Xiao Xuan couldn't even take out 200,000 silver coins, and couldn't help but think of what Xiao Yu said about Ruyi Tower receiving more than 100,000 silver coins. Could it be him?

Since that day, when Xiao Yu told him about the assassination, he sent people to check it out. There were still many holes left by arrows on the wall of the official post station.

Going to the inn a few hundred miles away, the house is being rebuilt and some burnt marks can still be seen.

The postman of the official post and the owner of the inn have also been questioned, and what Xiao Yu said is completely consistent. It can be seen that Xiao Yu did not lie about the killer.
